Charli on hunt for house with boyfriend
THINGS are getting serious for Gold Coast glamour couple Charli Robinson and Liam Talbot.
The former Sea FM radio host, who works on Channel 9’s Getaway, and her race car driver boyfriend are on the hunt for a new house.
“We have our eye on the southern end of the Coast, a beachside house preferably with a lot of garage space for Liam and his new Audi,” Ms Robinson said.
“We share very similar tastes and we are both crazy about the beach so I know we won’t have trouble deciding on a place together.”
It has been a blissful 18 months for the former Hi-5 performer and millionaire race car driver Talbot.
Ms Robinson said the Gold Coast Bulletin brought the pair together after she opened up about her split with Justin Kirkpatrick. Within 48 hours, the under-the-radar bachelor asked her out.
“Liam is my best friend in many ways,” Ms Robinson said. “My family love race car driving and I grew up watching it, so finding Liam who is part of that sport feels a bit surreal.
“But it’s also the little things like cuddling up on the couch and watching the sport together.”
The 37-year-old’s “bachelorette pad” – a Broadbeach apartment – hit the market this week. The residence has a stylish open-plan layout with a boho coastal-inspired setting.
Decorated with pops of colour, the apartment reflects Ms Robinson’s personality including a bright blue wall, Bali-inspired bed and artwork with the words “love” on the wall.
“I have only started to appreciate the beauty of this place,” Ms Robinson said.
“In the past I was out the door before the sun came up and back after it went down so I never saw how stunning the view really was.
“Wine and cheese on the balcony is one of my favourite hobbies.
“I haven’t lived anywhere but Broadbeach for a really long time. Even my radio team used to joke about me never setting foot outside the suburb.
“I figure if it’s comfortable, why leave?”
